Assignment 4

This engineering mechanics assignment involves analyzing various truss structures to determine the forces in each member. Students are provided figures of 7 different truss configurations and asked to calculate member forces, identifying whether each member experiences tension or compression. The final question has students use a method of sections analysis to solve a truss problem where the applied load is given.
